Chapter 36: New York Zombies

The Auror's office is very large, filled with desks, separated by partitions to form many small compartments.

Half of the desks are vacant, probably because they are on a mission or in a meeting, and the rest of the Aurors are busy at their respective positions.

When Rolf and Margaret walked into the office, the originally noisy room seemed to have the volume down, and the noise dropped a lot.

Everyone knows Margaret, even the trainee Aurors who have just arrived know her... Not only is the girl bright and beautiful, but she is also the beloved daughter of her boss.

If you can get her, you can save twenty years of hard work... Not to mention the Auror's office, even many single wizards in the next department are staring at this delicate rose.

But although the rose is beautiful, it has a bright thorn. Margaret has many suitors, and no boy has ever been close to her.

Unexpectedly, today I saw her holding the arm of a boy and walking into the room with a smile on her face... It's heartbreaking.

Rolf felt that every pair of strange eyes was staring at him, but he often enjoyed this kind of attention in Hogwarts, so he didn't care at all.

"Hey, Margaret." A young witch hurried over: "Mr. Kowalski is in the interrogation room, interrogating the prisoner."

"It's okay, Tracy, I'll just go to his office and wait." Margaret smiled.

Tracy hummed, she ignored Margaret's strange dress, turned her head and looked at the blond boy curiously, suddenly surprised, and said:

"Mr. Rolf Scamander? Hello!"

Rolf was a little surprised. "Do you know me?"

"Yes, there is a photo of you in the Daily Prophet." The witch looked very excited. She stretched out her hand and said:

"My name is Tracy. I noticed you since Rita Skeeter's report last year."

"I have also been following the recent Blake case... You relied on your keen insight to catch Pettigrew and help Blake solve the case. It is really admirable!"

Rolf shook her hand and smiled, "I was just lucky."

Tracy seemed to have been paying attention to Rolf for a long time. She kept talking about her praises and asked many questions.

After a while, Tracy said embarrassedly:

"Sorry, I am a little excited and may have asked too many questions."

"It's okay. I heard from a great wizard that an excellent Auror always maintains curiosity about everything. "Rolf smiled.

He spoke properly, without showing any impatience, and he didn't look like a thirteen-year-old boy at all.

Tracy led the way in front, and Margaret leaned close to the boy's ear, her lips only a few inches away from him, and she whispered:

"Which great wizard said that?"

Rolf lowered his voice and said, "I just said that."

Margaret almost laughed out loud, she stretched out her hand to pinch the boy's earlobe, and said in a sweet voice, "Next time, just say I said it!"

Rolf rolled his eyes at Margaret and gently slapped the girl's slender white hand.

As they walked and talked, Rolf saw all kinds of prisoners being examined by Aurors along the way.

One of the wizards had the loudest voice, and he shouted unconvincedly:

"Why do you want to arrest me? I just picked up a rope, and you Aurors are arresting people at will...Are there any laws? !"

"Shut up! "A middle-aged wizard scolded: "Why didn't you say that there was a wild unicorn tied behind the rope?"

Rolf watched with great interest and felt it was very interesting, of course... the premise is that he was not the one being interrogated.

As several people entered the office, the Aurors became more noisy, and everyone speculated about his identity.

Tracy helped to make two cups of coffee, and then did not continue to disturb the two people. She turned around and left the room tactfully.

Rolf sat on the sofa, and Margaret sat down with her. She also lifted one of her beautiful black silk legs and put it on the boy's leg, and said:

"Okay, little Rolf, you captured a female fan so quickly, when are you going to take her out for a date?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm a serious person! "

Rolf reached out and grabbed Margaret's restless legs, telling her not to move. He raised his head and stared at a blackboard.

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently installed with the latest version.]

The blackboard was covered with photos, and the content of each photo was terrifying:

A man with twisted lips pounced on another person like crazy, opened his mouth and bit, tore off a lot of flesh and blood, and swallowed it directly into his stomach.

There was another photo of a witch. She grabbed a man and dug out his eyeballs like crazy. The man opened his mouth and yelled, and she bit off his tongue and spit it out of her mouth...

Every photo was chilling.

Margaret followed Rolf's line of sight and whispered: "This is a recent attack case, which Muggles call zombies."

"Zombies?" Rolf raised his eyebrows.

"They will suddenly attack others like crazy, just like the zombies in Muggle movies, but they are not under magic. "

Rolf stared at the photo and looked at the children's eyes of those people, all of which were gray and white. He seemed to be thinking about something.

At this time, the door was opened, and a group of wizards walked in. The front was a blond middle-aged man with a short beard and a hooked nose.

The man was the son of Queenie and Jacob, Margery's father...Horst Kowalski.

Rolf's grandmother Tina and Queenie were sisters, so in terms of kinship, Horst was Rolf's cousin.

Behind Horst, there were two Aurors escorting two wizards and a corpse.

Among them was the red-haired man, whose whole body was tied up. His hands were shaking like chaff and his legs were twisting around as if dancing a weird dance.

There was another fat wizard with a haggard face and a bandage on the injured area on his neck. It seemed that he had been attacked, but he survived.

The body was wrapped in white cloth and could not be seen.

"Rolph, you're back. It's great to see you!" Horst strode over and hugged him, almost breaking his bones.

He looked the boy up and down carefully, then laughed loudly and said, "Much taller."

Luo Fu smiled shyly and said, "Uncle, long time no see."

"I'll talk to you later and I'll go release some tasks."

Horst walked out of the office quickly. Apart from Rolf and Margery, there were only two Aurors left in the room. They were guarding the tied red-haired man to prevent him from breaking free and continuing to attack others.

There was also a fat man who was the victim. He coughed and said, "Sir, I'm so thirsty. Can you give me some water?"

The young Auror hesitated for a moment, glanced at the red-haired prisoner, and his companion whispered: "It's okay, this guy was tied to death, I can keep an eye on him."

The young Auror nodded lightly and quickly walked out of the room. Only one Auror was left staring at the prisoner to prevent him from moving.

The Auror's entire attention was on the prisoner. At this moment, the fat wizard suddenly pounced on him from behind like a cheetah.

The Auror was caught off guard and fell to the ground. The fat man pressed down on him, biting his shoulder with his mouth wide open, opening a hole and causing blood to drip from his mouth.

The fat wizard wanted to continue to eat the Auror, but a slender vine came out and wrapped around his neck, pulling him back.

The fat wizard put his hands into the vines that were strangling his neck and arched his hips backwards, trying to free himself from the vines.

But the cold vines were getting tighter and tighter, and the fat wizard immediately gave up on Auror, got up and rushed towards Luolf and Margaery in the direction of the vines.

Margaery raised her wand and shouted, "Collapse."

The spell hit the fat wizard on the head, but he did not faint.

Luofu frowned. He snapped his fingers, and vines emerged from his box. Like shackles, they instantly wrapped around the fat wizard's arms and ankles, making him unable to move.

The young man walked over slowly, stared into the fat wizard's eyes, and then walked towards the body covered by white cloth.

When the Aurors rushed into the office, they saw the blond boy, whom everyone had just recognized as a pretty boy, squatting next to the corpse that had been chewed beyond recognition, observing carefully.

This picture made everyone shudder.

Luofu looked up at everyone, then pointed at the body and said calmly:

"Poisoned."
